That's it. When I was in the phone industry there would be 100's of ft in the dumpster. If it has been used it will need to be washed to removed the pulling lube. There is a learning curve in learning how to tie it. Tied right it will lock, wrong and it will slip.

I will be getting more this weekend... pay shipping and I will send some.. it will have plenty of bonus pulling lube for.no extra charge.

Really?!?! No extra charge? Cool beans. Or should I say, rotten meat?

Seriously, JS. That's super nice of you. What lengths do you have access to? Enough to make some five- or six-foot straps? What widths? Wide enough to protect the trees? What cuts the lube? Dish soap? Laundry detergent? Kerosene?!?!

Lube washes out with water, but a little laundry detergent helps. Right now my bundle is sitting in the rain, so it will have to dry out before I can detangle and ship it. Lube is great stuff... it degrades and smells like urine when wet!

I do not recommend it for tree straps except for children. It is only 5/8" wide...

My son is saving money for a scout adventure in 2014... you might see him here selling boxes of mule tape in the future, but for now I cannot see me profiting from something I get for free...

I think he should wash the mule tape and start selling (or excepting donations for) this batch to us. We get "cleaner" tape while he gets cash and doesn't lose customers to dad's giveaways (and dad doesn't have to untangle it).
